MOVE a group and everything inside it along the timeline, keeping its internal timing intact — the 'slide this whole section later' operation. A plain group is a relative CONTAINER: it has no window of its own, so on the timeline it spans the hull of its contents, and moving it slides the whole subtree as one rigid body. `start` is the ABSOLUTE frame the group's window should end up at, not a delta, so calling it twice with the same value is a no-op. Descendants keep their spacing; the move stops when the earliest thing inside reaches frame 0. Welded caption lines are deliberately left behind (they follow their clip's speech, not this group), and an embedded morpha band moves as one unit. Fails when the group is empty or holds an always-present layer — there is no bounded window to move. To CLIP what is shown of a group rather than move it, use set_group_window; for a single layer use set_layer_block.
